Chinese. Row Near Mormon Island.

Chinese Row Near Mormon Island.
Yesterday afternoons train from Folsom
brought to the city number of excited
Cinnamon, including one, named All FOX,
who was suffering from a severe bullet
wound in the back, Just beneath the shout
der blade. 1t seems that at Blue Ravine. a
short distance above Mormon Island. about
a dozen Cinnamon got into n difficulty rela-
tive to the ownership of a mining claim.
and the disagreement terminated in war,
more than dozen shots being fired, only
one of which took effect, though the cloth
ing of some of the contestants was per
forated by the leaden missiles. One Celes-
tial was about as badly injured with club
as FOX was by the bullet, being beaten
very severely. On the arrival of the party
in the city they repaired to Justice Posts
Court, where warrants were sworn out
against seven Cinnamon, of the party now
IN possession of the claim charging them
with assault 10 murder. Deputy Constable
Swift left for Folsom with the warrant
last evening, and will be assisted in serving
it by Constable McComber. OF Folsom. The
claim in dispute is said to be a rich one. and
ii is not probable that either party will sur
render its interest until ali hope of victory,
by force or in the Courts, is gone.
ONE OF THE LAMBERT BOYS Hurt
Wash Lambert, of Woodland, is in receipt
of letter from his sons who are at Salt
Lake City with several Yolo county race
horses, informing him that few DAYS ago
in holly contested race, Juanita. one of
the horses, stumbled and fell, throwing
George to the ground, breaking his arm
besides intiicting several severe bruises.
The Woodland Democrat says that the
Lambert boys have been unusually sue
cessful with their horses. George will
probably remain with the animals in spite
of hisiDjury, and when he is well will try
to make up for lost time. The injury is
not bad one, and inside of month or
six weeks the arm will be nearly as good
as ever.
CLOSE CALL.-Y esterday as the 11:30 A. NJ
train for Stockton was passing along Front
street, leaving the city, the driver of W.
R. Strong & Co.'S one-horse truck essayed
to drive across the track at the foot of l.
street to the wharf He had plenty of
time, but for some reason the horse stopped
on the track, and before he could be started
up the engine, which had slowed down on
the engineers seeing the danger, struck
the truck and swung it aside, causing the
driver to be thrown of, and stripping the
harness from the horse, but when it came
to an examination OF damages all that
could be found was confined TO the break
ing of two or three small straps.
WINE CASKS IN ABUNDANCE. = The
steamer Apache brought I'D from San
Francisco yesterday morning, as portion
of her cargo, large quantity of dressed
redwood lumber. forming portions of sew
eral immense wine casks for the Natoma
Company, near Folsom. As each piece
had to be handled carefully, and there were
thousands of them, the work OF unloading
was tedious, and the steamer did not get
away on her return trip until after P. NJ.
The Modoc will bring up some more of
this tank material this morning, and
altogether there will be about nine car
loads OF il.
